"Seems you have a natural talent for cooking."
Cyrus began meditating to gather energy to open the portal. Lucrecia smiled at her children.
Nanako took a bite. "It's delicious! I've never had anything so good!"
"I will. I'm going to see if I can open a portal to her location. It'll take me a while to gather the strength to do it, though."
"It looks delicious, mommy."
"I know. I'm just worried, that's all."
"I'm sure it'll be delicious."
"I hope Aerith is ok."
"Oh keep quiet, Orpheus."
Lucrecia knelt down and hugged Seth and Lucrecia.
"He won't be able to hurt you, Seth."
"What happened to daddy, mommy?" "That wasn't your father. That was a demon taking his form. Your real father will be back very soon."
Lucrecia went to look for her children.
"I don't know what I can tell them. I suppose I'll tell them that wasn't their father, but a demon in disguise."
"Thanks for your help. I don't know if I could have handled him on my own."
Lucrecia sheathed her sword. "Who are you, stranger?"
Lucrecia rushed forward and thrust her sword at Ryo.
"Whoever you are, thanks." Lucrecia said as she readied herself to strike at Ryo again.
Lucrecia grabbed her sword off the ground and looked for the source of the blast.
Lucrecia rolled away and swung at him. Lucia grabbed Seth's hand and ran with him.
